Since it i a soft toy, it should not have done any real damage. You could take her to the vet tomorrow just to have it checked but I bet it will be okay.

Yes take her to the vet, even a small eye ulser can get bad fast. We had a dog get dumped at the shelter I worked at cuz his irresponsible owners didn't do anything about his eye, until it burst, which they then dropped him off at the SPCA said he was a stray and drove off. Lucky for poor Blinky we had a vet who voulentters her time for the expensive surgarys (like his $900 eye removal) So It's better to be safe then sorry! You wouldn't want to cause her more pain by letting it heal on its own. BTW a eye ulsur or a small cut on the eye is treated with a $3 bottle of ointment placed on the sore 2x a day.

She probably has something in the eye. Pry open the eye and check for a foreign object. You can use a tissue to remove it by gently touching the object and removing it. You don't say what type of dog this is. If it is a dog with protruding eyes, ie Boston Terrier, Chihuahua, Japanese Chin, Maltese, the eyes are very susceptible to injury. Is the eye swollen? Is there any liquid running out of the eye? Is the eye itself red? If you don't have any luck with any of these suggestions, please take her to your vet immediately. Good Luck!

If it was a stuffed toy, the eye likely just stings a little and she's probably alright by now. If not ok by tomorrow, you need to get it checked out.

Most likely the toy scratch her eye. If, you have ever had this you know it heal OK. Of course, I guess people today go to a Doctor when they scratch their eye, I know my cousin went when he cut his finger. Everyone was like, dang, man, put neosporin and a band-aid on it! BUT, if, she not opening it tomorrow evening you may want a Vet to look.

If she doesn't open the eye by tomorrow, the eye needs medical attention by a vet.

Don't bother taking her to the emergency room, unless it still can't be opened for at least four hours (I just made that number up). Don't be worried--that happens to humans sometimes too, like when it whip myself in the eye with my hair... Anyway, you could take her to the vet tomorrow if the eye looks bad, but it shouldn't cause too much trouble.

Since it was a soft toy, she is probably just scared. If she still won't open her eye by tomarrow, then you should see your vet.

Your canine could pass to the vet to be particular the attention grow to be not broken. because of the fact if it grow to be he can prescribe meds to help a great deal. The time to confirm is on the onset, not after the turns hazy or bluish eco-friendly. that is extreme injury and can generally be dealt with while the attention is broken. The vet will look on the eyes along with his kit to work out if any injury has taken place. that is probable okay, yet to be particular, ask your vet.

yes, if there is something you should take an animal to the vet it is an eye. You cannot replace their vision. Hope this helps:).
